Welcome back Panthers! Your PHS counseling team is excited to bring you another year of Counselor Talks! This is a monthly speaking series where you can learn about a wide range of topics. We are covering everything from applying to highly selective colleges to managing test anxiety, from being a college athlete to exploring the tech/trade school path. Our first talk is on Thursday, September 12 during tutorial and will be led by Dr. Whitlow who leads the PHS Writing Center. Dr. Whitlow will share all she knows about making your college/scholarship application essay stand out and give you that edge.
Click THIS LINK to see all our Counselor Talks for the 2024-2025 school year and sign up for as many as you want! All talks are open to students in grades 9-12 and are held during tutorial.
